Thankfully, our partners at the Shri Jalaram Arogya Seva Trust Hospital in Meghraj, Gujarat, India, diagnosed the problem: prescription drug allergies had led to cataracts in both eyes. After receiving surgeries in July 2018 and March 2019, Hiteshbhai’s eyesight has improved, paving the way for a brighter future full of possibilities.
Cases like Hiteshbhai’s vividly illustrate the importance of CBI’s support for Shri Jalaram, where we’ve funded more than 14,000 cataract surgeries since 2008.
